Chiropody / Podiatry

Painful feet are both uncomfortable and unnecessary. Healthy feet mean pain free mobility and improved confidence. Regular visits to a Manor Croft Clinic State Registered Chiropodist can help maintain healthy feet.

We can also del with conditions relating to the hands where the pathology is the same as that of the foot.  Please first ask our reception staff to have a chiropodist call you back to discuss your concern before making an appointment.
